An earlier reviewer described their experience with this restaurant in one word, "underwhelmed.' I have to agree.
With a cool location right in the heart of "dahntahn," I was left a little puzzled by this place. The interior has an odd mixture of upper class and casual. The decor is reminiscent of a diner, with a touch of class. There is a large bar in the center of the main room as you enter the door with another dining room in the back. As we were looking over the light-up menu, a "house magician" showed up at our table to perform tricks.
The small menu features Pittsburgh classics like pierogis and chip chopped ham bbq sandwiches as well as some classier sounding dishes. I ended up getting the ham bbq, which I think makes this the first time I have ever ordered that in a restaurant. It was pretty tasty, but honestly tasted no different than when I scoop it out of a crock pot at a family reunion. Other members of our party were unhappy with their main courses as well, including my wife who's chicken was dry and potatoes cold.
One bright point was the dessert. Made in-house, the chocolate lava cake was delicious, served warm with a scoop of ice cream.
I'm unsure if I'll give Taste of Dahntahn another shot. Perhaps someday I will, but won't be making a real effort to do so.
